The Charles Lindbergh Family PDF Print E-mail

An Associated Press news story, dated 25 January 1936, reported that Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lindbergh were guests at a home in Llandaff.

The couple were staying with the parents of Anne Morrow Lindbergh's brother-in-law.

Following the tragic kidnapping and death of their son in 1932, the Lindberghs fled to Europe to escape hounding by the American press.

According to the 1936 news story, the Lindberghs spent a period of time with their in-laws in 1933 when Elisabeth Morrow and her husband, Aubrey Neil Morgan, lived at Saint Brides-super-Ely "a straggling village within sight of the Caerphilly mountains about nine miles from Cardiff."

Apparently, the reporter never visited SBSE.


Time Magazine reported 05 July 1937 the marriage of Anne Morrow Lindbergh's other sister, Constance to Aubrey Morgan:

Married. Constance Cutter Morrow, daughter of Mrs. Dwight Whitney Morrow, sister of Mrs. Charles Augustus Lindbergh; to Aubrey Niel Morgan, Welsh cricket player and Cardiff department store executive, widower of sister Elisabeth Morrow who died in 1934; in North Haven, Maine. It was in his family's home that Colonel & Mrs. Lindbergh took refuge after their flight from the U. S. in 1933.

The following information was provided by the Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation after inquiry about the Morgans' residence in St Brides-super-Ely:

"The best description of the house (with one picture of the living room) and the visit by the Lindberghs is in Anne Morrow Lindbergh's book, Locked Rooms and Open Doors.

"Aubrey Niel Morgan (correct spelling of middle name) was a member of the family that owned David Morgan Ltd, a department store in Cardiff that no longer exists. Mr. Morgan was working at the store with his father and brothers at the time he and his first wife lived at Ty Newydd which I believe was rented from family friends in the area. Because of his first wife's failing health, they did not live at the house very long. They moved back to US, to Pasadena, California, because the climate was considered better for her health.

"I have been past the house many times (it sits right by the road), although I have not been back to Wales for many years. As far as I know it is still standing and is still called Ty Newydd."
